RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

-SoulRiser

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

i think what inspires you is when you draw something, you get a better idea form that drawing to form a completely new drawing. also the only time when you can write good poems are when your really fucking pissed.


Hey, who are your teacher's fon? i probably would've had them.

I would like to quote Daria on this one:

Quote:"Hey Daria, what did you get for question number one?"
"The one that asks what kind of person you are?"
"Yeah."
"Put cross-dresser."

I have no idea what inspires you but nature and people inspire me. It's just bloody amazing to see how science naturally works and with such precision. And then it's just interesting to think how complicated people are...for better or worse.

Let's do the time warp again!

i have some idea of what inspires her, because we both kinda stalked eachother in 6th and 7th grade. heck, that all started when we were both in the same room in the same hospital. So i started first. i help her with shit and i still can by pm. Well, what inspires me is songs, my imagination, and nature like happy camper.

Well, i do pay attention when friends tell me crap about themselves. And i am basically the only real friend who understands you in some ways. racheal doesnt understand you, alysa is trying to outdraw you, so fuck her. Ashley and abby, fuck them too. Angela and Krisann, their weird and dont have interest in your music whatsoever. Jared, hes tall now, so he cant help you, cause hes a poser. im THE ONLY PERSON who has similar interests.

watching somebody help a complete stranger with something without expecting anything in return...

trying to figure people out (like how they think and stuff)

the infinite complexity of the human mind (ok it kinda goes with the previous one)

... ants. yeah, seriously. like how they work together building all these cool nests and organizing stuff. birds too... ever looked at a fallen nest? nature rawks :biggrin:

Dude, in our Lit class we're sapposed to get an essay everyday...

And Mrs. Rosene was a fucking dumb cunt. I got all A's and B's on my assignments, and she gave em all F's because I was, "Of in La La Land, and I doddled to much on my paper" The stupid whore-motherfucker.

It depends on what you mean by essay. Most nights I have to write up a page of stuff. But if you mean big essays, I feel sorry for you.

Atleast 2 page long essays, and its really hard becuae they always ask perosnal shit like "What's your inspiration"? And I'm not very good at writing about those, cause I never really know the content of what to write.

OK, I feel sorry for you. No wonder US students hate school. In Canada, at least where I live, we get WAY less homework.
